ANALYSIS: That's three straight quality starts in a row for Danny Duffy. Just saying quality starts doesn't even tell the whole story. Duffy's last start was a gem. Against the White Sox, Duffy pitched six shutout innings. He struck out 10 and only allowed three hits. The three walks were slightly troubling, but he hadn't issued any in his previous four starts so I wouldn't worry. The main thing left to be seen is how Duffy responds to going deeper into games. He still hasn't ventured into the 7th, and it will be interesting to see how he handles lineups that extra time through.

The peripherals all point to Duffy being able to continue his success. 59 K in 49 IP, with only 10 walks in that span. His 2.82 SIERA and 3.30 xFIP indicate that at the very worst, Duffy will be a serviceable arm. The upside here is real though, and he has a good defense behind him. Grab him while you still can.
